New edit: meeting at 8.00am, car park under the southern end of the Narrows Bridge, Saturday 30/08/08.

Hello people,

After our little MTB get-together last weekend, I thought it might be a good time to have a road ride, seeing as the weather has been so good to us.

Is there any interest in a ride this Saturday (23/08/08 )*? I propose meeting underneath the southern end of the Narrows Bridge at 8.00am for a ride down to Freo, where breakfast and/or coffee can be had. We can then ride back to the Narrows or split off and head home along the way.

The pace will be sociable (if I have any say in it ... ). The start time and destination are negotiable too.

Cheers,
Graeme
(* Edit: weather forecast for Sunday is not too good, so I changed the date to Saturday morning.)

I'll keep a closer eye on the weather forecast before I commit. Might also have plans on Saturday night that will keep me from making an 8am start anyway [yeah I'm lazy, I know] so it's definitely closer to a no than a yes for me at the moment.

Here's a rough version of the route I made earlier. The meeting point is underneath the Narrows Bridge (near King's Park). That's the river crossing on the route at the northern end of the route.

The distance from there to Fremantle is about 25km (~16 miles). The speed will be determined by the slowest member of the ride (no-one gets left behind). Of course, you'll need to get back to the starting point and then back home, so count on the ride being 60km all up from Leederville.

Cheers,
Graeme

er ... no ... I don't intend to do the wooden boardwalk bit. That was just a rough version of the route which I had put together some time ago for a different purpose. The boardwalk is not much fun on a 'bent ....

Can't understand you guys who want to sleep through the best bit of the day!

Cheers,

I don't think 8am is too earlier. We don't want to leave it too late as the traffic will pickup on the roads. I'll definitely be there. So JP, Graeme, me and plus/minus Andrew so far. It's more than 2 people so it's officially a group ride

I've gone and double booked that time of the day, so I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to pull out. I'm committed to judging the nature section of the photography exhibition of the Perth Royal Show, and the judging commences at 8.45am on Saturday. That means I can't ride on Saturday morning.

I'm going to ride with the WAHPV group on Sunday morning, either from Burswood to Freo and back, or on the dirt out at the heritage trail near Mundaring (undecided as to which one just now).
